Haven't thought that far ahead yet. What a ridiculous thread.

I've heard this played by a lone piper at a few funerals and I always found it appropriate and moving. Just imagine standing at a cold grave side with this playing. It moves the soul.

I would be a bit of a traditionalist. This is my sort of thing for funerals,

Whilst we are on about these laments/ funeral music, this would be one of my favourite pieces of music.

Close your eyes and just listen.
